No. 3 is the main reason companies like eBay and Amazon don't want to do business in Nigeria.

In no particular order

Phcn/NEPA
Immigrations
Customs
NNPC
Police
Road safety etc...

These so called agencies have done us more harm than good...I hope and pray in a few yrs there will be major overhaul in all these agencies which will steer our country in the right direction..

Lol. they'll make the list as some of the organizations wasting budgetary allocation. For now these ones are supposed to be boosting our IGR but they're looting it

NNPC! The most corrupt organisation in the world! The money spent on just personnel cost alone can build 2 burj khalifa.An employee there earns more than 500,000 monthly without any value for money,just sitting signing papers...

Many thanks to the Buhari's single treasure account policy. This was what he saw, the same that Jonathan ignored.

These are some of the parastatals the Ministers in Jonathan's cabinet used to massively divert the wealth of this nation.

From Your original Post,I can safely conclude u are just one semi literate 'layman' dwelling on just hearsay.You don't know jack about the Agencies u listed..Granted,corruption in Nigeria is to say the least systematic but ur blank generalization does not cut it..

Do you know the processes of remitting revenue to government coffers, especially with regards to FIRS?

Custom are the biggest scam in this country... I wonder where all the duty money are going to...
Both the organization and their staff are very corrupt and they display this openly.
May God save us.......

Don't mind him. All he did was to single out some of the agencies that are responsible for generating the highest amount for government and termed them the most corrupt.

And then the moderator for the section felt the list to be very 'intelligent' to warrant FP.

Nigeria Railway n ko?

Are they more corrupt than the NPF? And, do you have an accurate figure of all the duty money collected and the one that was sent to the government?

Why don't you state a counter opinion that nullifies the fraudulent aspects of their activities mentioned in the write up? Or you've been sent about your Oga to protect the interest of your agency mentioned in the list?

Top 5 most corrupt government agencies to me is [b][/b]NNPC, NNPC, NNPC, NNPC and NNPC. Then, PHCN, NPA, CUSTOMS, NPF, NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, TINUBU

5 Most Notorious Government Agencies Siphoning Nigeria's Revenue

This article highlights some of the Organizations at the top list of siphoning most of the revenue which should be going into Government's purse, but rather diverted to private pockets. They're responsible for Nigeria's low IGR and Foreign revenue annually despite the huge amount of money coming from crude oil exports and Huge actual Internally Generated Revenue, most of which the Nigerian Government does not officially earn. If the Federal Government wants to boost its IGR and budget expectations, these are the organizations to go after:

1. NNPC (Their Oga kpata kpata): Records speak for itself, the NNPC doesn't even know the amount of crude it imports daily. There are possibly over 100 different means which the NNPC uses to siphon government revenue. From fraudulent subsidy payments to intentional delay of imported products to incur and accumulate demurrage with shopping companies. They're mostly responsible for the over $600 billion dollars alleged by the EFCC to have been stolen from Nigeria since 1999.

2. NPA: Working for the Nigeria Ports Authority can even be more rewarding than working for the NNPC. Thousands of illegal deals worth millions of Naira are settled under the table at the ports on a daily basis. Government ends up not recording most of these criminal deals. So many criminal waivers, unrecorded imports, direct cash settlements rather than legal payment channels, undercharges, auction sales etc.

3. Customs: customs officials attached to courier agencies target goods coming in from overseas. Once your package arrives, you'd be expecting the normal courier charge and taxes, then you hear the bad news; Nigeria customs is holding your package. They'll usually give you a fictitious extra bill, citing some flimsy reasons and stipulated policies and conditions which cannot be found anywhere on their website. Instead of allowing the goods get to your local courier office, they'll rather invite you to Lagos and that's when you get desperate because you don't want to travel all the way to Lagos to collect a package. So you decide to negotiate and pay. Mode of payment is usually their private accounts or other means which will not be eventually traced back to them, not government's purse. Sometimes also, their charges are genuine, but settled through private channels, So government gets little or nothing from the illegal transaction.

Their Illegal Operations with The Immigration Service at Nigeria's borders also ensure that Cars and other goods are imported into Nigeria illegally with taxes and charges that are never documented or paid into government's purse.

4. FIRS: this is another criminal organization in Nigeria.They target multinationals and big companies, and the richest among them work in Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt and other cities with numerous big companies. They help you evade tax in so many different ways (evading and avoiding tax are different things, one is criminal, the other is legal) and collect huge rewards for their excellent criminal manoevers. Hundreds of billions or possibly trillions therefore go unrecovered annually.

5. NIMASA: The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency is a regulatory body saddled with various maritime related responsibilities including administration and regulation of shipping licenses, carrying out aerial and coastal surveillance, control and prevention of maritime pollution, providing maritime security. About 40% of Nigeria's income Is budgeted for this agency to develop maritime infrastructure and fund the operations of the Maritime Academy of Nigeria. NIMASA has been involved with various levels of fraud on many occasions running into Trillions of naira.

Other Agencies include the Nigeria Immigration Service, Federal Road Safety and The Nigeria Police Force.

You may add more and highlight. We want complete reforms so that we may recover our money and develop our infrastructure.

God Bless Nigeria.

You might not be intelligent enough to comprehend my post,but let me break it down,Almost every agency,company,institution or parastastal both in the private and public sector is neck deep in some level of corruption.It is institutionalised and systematic! Any dunce can list these(primary sources of revenue for the government) just to tickle the fancy of his/her readers.Doesn't make much of sense to me.

in complete without yeye NEPA

FAAN and NCAA do you know how many airlines both domestic and international settle their directors just to avoid being sanctioned.?

I think Op should have categorically stated "top five corrupt revenue generating agencies". They all generate huge sums of money and remit same to the coffers - or are supposed to!

Otherwise bodies like NPF, PHCN, NA, NACA should justifiably be among the list.

BTW why is everyone mentioning FRSC? Personally I think that aside their occasional excesses, they are one of few agencies that do their duties well and can be considered reasonably corrupt free.

zicoraads:

they are same of the same.

I doubt if you read the content of the article or maybe you just read the bolded items. It's a summary with some insight into the ways they conduct their fraudulent operations. This list is not just about corrupt organizations, it's about the top 5 I picked among many who deplete Nigeria's IGR before it gets to government coffers, with some summary about how they do this. This is an article, not a book publication

If you think about it, people are complaining about corruption in that Nigeria where few people in the country have birth certificate. If a circumstance should exists whereby people could go to court to challenge the state, the state of Nigeria could conceivably win by default since the majority of people of Nigeria have no proof of citizenship. See, at this point people think, of forgery, we could just forge ...and thus the foundation is corruption and we have not even started....

Things like this matter. The parameters of Nigeria is bogus. In this condition, ultimately we are playing at Nationhood and things will continue to be slippery and illusionery.

Thanks for your suggestion

Actually I explained that they are organizations which constitute a major chunk of our IGR but steal so much of it before it gets to The government coffers. The title had to be cut short to contain space and make meaning, the brief summary before the list explained the rest

Central Bank of Nigeria and All Nigerian DMB's are also big culprits. Though they ain't government agencies
